My 82 GS750EZ was sometimes cranking slow after riding it for a while and still hot. Worked great when cold. Took the starter out and apart. 2 of the brushes were GONE, the other 2 were very small. Got a rebuild kit and will clean and fix it. No bad noises or anything to know this was happening. Absolutely full of black carbon dust (and chunks of brush). The commutator has a ridge on it, where can I have it turned? Thanks.

Most any place that rebuilds starters or alternators can do that for you. or, if you know someone with a drill press and you are careful (and frugal like me), you can chuck it up in the drill press and 'lathe' it with a fine file, or polish it with crocus cloth until it's straight.Originally posted by vjgsor750 View Post
after you are finished, don't forget to undercut the mica (or insulator) with a hacksaw blade that is ground down on the sides to fit between the commutator bars. -
If there's enough meat on it, sure turn and undercut commutator; but starters are easy enough to get off ebay for $25.Originally posted by rustybronco View Post1981 gs650L

You can do that yourself. Would be good if had a drill press, but if you just have a drill motor you can do a fair job by hand. Put the rotor in drill, use some emmory cloth backed by something flat (I used a paint stir stick). Be carefull not to go astray and damage the wires. And then use something to scratch out just a bit of the insulation between the bars.Originally posted by vjgsor750 View Post

Maybe could have gotten it flatter, but would have taken lot more work the way I was doing it.
